The mass replicator is a late game console that must be purchased for 100 veldite and pyromanite on top of 15 kermiculite. The console is created just above the refining area, and can be used to artificially create all mineral types available by using your battlecruiser's energy.

Currently, 1500 energy will produce 10 veldite while 2000 energy will produce either 10 chalcorium or pyromanite, while 15000 energy can be expended to create 10 kermiculite.

Due to the hefty cost of energy, mass replicator is often overlooked as it is simpler to gather the resources using a miner instead without the risk of draining all of your battlecruiser's energy. However, in Game's which players may be having trouble finding specific resources, a replicator may help, and become an efficient tool through the use of Powerdocking, where it becomes highly effective, as energy can be regenerated quite quickly. A replicator should never be used in a combat situation, during combat preparations, or immediately after an engagement, as the heavy energy taxation greatly reduces the effective use of engines and shielding, in some cases, use of a replicator in battle conditions by an inexperienced or unaware player can, and most often will, cost that player's team the game.
